Abstract

Actual today in Ukraine the mission of pastoral guardianship of convicts in fact has deep historical basis. The sources of cooperation of the state and church in practice of implementation of punishment is beginning by the roots of our era. In the article considered historical terms of origin, forming and creation of ideological bases of pastoral guardianship above convicts to imprisonment in christianity. Christian religious sources testify that prisons existed in many states of the ancient world. Among Christians has come to visit prisoners as soon as in the second century began their persecution. Jesus gave in his prophecy push in that in the last judgment, those who visited the prison are counted as righteous. From the first years of existence of christianity, visiting convict apostles and simple prisoners of pagans, christians first of all preached studies about God, giving a faith, pleasure and hope on an exit convict. The main purpose of visiting prisoners is not only to facilitate their social and living conditions in prison, and first of all in the confession of christian values, in particular that the human soul is higher than body, accordingly spiritual mission is more important than material. On the other hand visiting convicts to imprisonment, according to Christian doctrine, it is a saving chain not only for them but also for a missioner. As history shows, the church gave the prisoners not only spiritual but also material support. If churchmen and acts of charity on the part of ordinary Christians can only lightly alleviate the fate of prisoners it is impossible to ignore the charitable component of attitude toward prisoners from the side of clergy and laymen. It inspired not only individuals and groups but also a legal system that has grown along with secular laws.
